Meanwhile, Annie realized that the breakout was masterminded by her ex-teammates in the Crazy Gang and has escaped to put an end to the chaos. Now that you kow what’s going on, turn the page….

Panel 1
Jeffery is looking at guy at superspeed.

Panel 1
Aiden is looking at Michael.
Aiden: Ok, so why can’t I transform yet? I can turn into a bird and see where the villains are!
Michael: Ok, one: if you call them villains, you will think of them as just some comic book fodder for the heroes to fight, two: if you switch forms now, you’ll give away what you can do and we will lost the element of surprise. Plus I “heard” voices in this area a moment ago. It might be some of the escapees.
Panel 2
Aiden is pointed straight ahead.
Aiden: What do you think happened there?
Panel 3
It is the frozen man, with the lingere. In the background is the building that crashed.

Panel 4
Michael is looking at him with a half smile on his face.

Page 8
6 Panel spread.
Panel 1
Michael is putting the box back in his pocket, Aiden is shifting back into human form.
Aiden: That…that was something. How did you know that I wouldn’t be able to hear that?
Michael: White Persians are normally bred pure with other purebred cats, eventually there are bound to be some deaf cats due to inbreeding, it was the only thing I could think of that quickly.
Panel 2
Michael and Aiden are talking; the background should show the frozen man is moving towards them.
Michael: By the way, quick thinking on the panther.
Aiden: Thanks, we were watching ‘Animals!’ the other night on the Education Channel and I got the idea to try and turn into one.
Panel 3
The man, dressed in lingerie, is closer to them, but remains in the background. Michael and Aiden are still talking.

Panel 1
Evelyn is standing next to Sad Jane and Flamer’s unconscious bodies. She is wearing black leather pants, knee high stilettos, metallic elbow pads and a black leather bustier that is accented with metal rings. She is also wearing black finger gloves. She has one foot on Jane’s head and she appears to be filing her nails.
Evelyn: Hello tall, ugly, and sadly under average by the lack of a constriction in those panties. Would you be ever so kind as to release those two young gentlemen? Thank you.
Panel 2
The man is throwing Aiden into the background and tossing Michael to the ground.
Lingere man: You hurt…friends.
Panel 3
Evelyn is admiring the work on her nails.
Evelyn: No, no I didn’t, but how serendipitous of me that I should find them here in this state. Let me guess, you are but one of those dreadful escapees, that we have been warned about? Hmmm, scary.
Panel 4
The Lingerie Man is stomping closer to Evelyn. She looks bored.
Lingerie Man: You…hurt friends!
Evelyn: Are you gentlemen alright? If this mammoth example of genetic failure hurt you, I can assure you that…
Panel 5
The Lingerie Man is punching at Evelyn, who is still not reacting. His fist is going right through her body, as if she is a ghost.
Panel 6
Evelyn has grabbed his lacey top and is lifting him off the ground. Her foot is still firmly on Sad Jane’s head.
Evelyn: Now, that wasn’t too smart, was it, ugly.
Thunderpunch: My name is Th’nder Punch.
Evelyn: Excellent! Thunderpunch, do you know why you are rampaging like this? Because you are acting like such a naughty little boy, you should be turned over someone’s knee.
Thunderpunch: ‘Cause……Trish say to.
Evelyn: Ahhh Trish. And where might I find this lady, so I may speak with her about your dreadful behavior.
Thunderpunch: NO….can’t tell….
Page 10
6 Panel spread.
Panel 1
The scene should be as if we are Thunderpunch looking down at Evelyn.
Evelyn: Well, you have loyalty on your side, very admirable. Now let’s see to whom your loyalty is stronger. Do you see my boot?
Thunderpunch: Yes…
Panel 2
Now the perspective is Evelyn looking up at Thunderpunch.
Evelyn: Did you catch what I did earlier? Change my “den-sit-tee” to a ghost form?Thunderpunch: Yes…
Panel 3
The panel is Evelyn’s foot on Sad Jane’s head.
Evelyn: What do you suppose would happen if I did that, and went through her head as a ghost, and went back to normal? Do you think she would be hurt? Do you think she would die?Thunderpunch: Yes….
Panel 4
The image is on Evelyn’s face, now showing anger.
Evelyn: Then you listen and you listen up good, you dumb son of a b@#%h, I want to know where the stupid f!@$ing whore that sent you on this f#@!ing rampage is, and I want to know…NOW.
Panel 5
Thunderpunch’s face is terrified.
Thunderpunch: Yes…………I’ll tell.
Panel 6
Evelyn’s face is now joyful.
Evelyn: Excellent! I can tell Thunderpunch, we are going to be the very best of friends!

4 panels
Panel 1
Evelyn is helping Aiden up. Michael is up also, he is holding a black box that now has a blinking green light.
Michael: I have the dampner working now, so we should have to worry about these guys anymore. You Ok, Aiden?Evelyn: Well, I think we will be OK, no broken bones, throat is a little bruised, but that is nothing that a little rest shouldn’t perk up.
Aiden:T-Thank you…wait! You’re Evelyn Davis! I loved your last movie! I wish I had my camera!
Panel 2
Michael is looking slightly annoyed.
Michael: Ok, rein it in, A, we still have work to do.
Evelyn: Yes, we can have a nice visit after we find the rest of the escapees. Why, your friend here almost talked my ear off for two complete minutes before we thought to get you!
Aiden: Really? Two whole minutes, huh?Michael: It was nothing! Besides, I will share the picture that we took together. Now where did Thunderthighs say their leader was going?
Panel 3
Evelyn is straightening out her brassier.
Evelyn: Now, here is a bit of irony. She is headed to the 1st National Bank of Salvation, which is where..
Michael: You, that speedster, and uhm….
Evelyn: Annie LeDuex
Michael: Yes! The three of you stopped the Crazy Gang from robbing the bank and murdering hostages. That means Trisha must be Psy-Anyde and the rest of them are just a distraction.
Evelyn: See, I thought of that angle, too. In order for that to happen, then, they must have escaped, created a diversion, the riot, to keep Ax out of the way. Then, she had her team create mayhem to clear a path and evacuate the area, per that lovely law that keeps bystanders away. But in order for this work, they would have had to have a way for Annie to escape..
Michael: …So she can confront her alone at the bank!
Evelyn: Yes, its sinfully brilliant. So, shall we get going? I would like to get to the bank soon. The sooner this affair is over, the sooner I can get back to my penthouse and wash the stink of stupidity off of my body.
Panel 4
Evelyn is standing straight up looking at the villains. Aiden is staring at her chest. Michael is looking annoyed.
Michael:Ah-hem!
Aiden: Uh, so, uhm, which way to the bank?
Page 12
Jeffery and Aurora are traveling through an alley. Jeffery at super speed, Aurora is flying on her staff. She is behind him, but there is a piece of thread that is keeping her tethered to his wrist.
Panel 1
Aurora is yelling.
Aurora: Jeffery! Slow down! You keep taking sharp turns and I am getting closer and closer to hitting the sides of buildings!
Jeffery: I thought you said that thing was fast!
Aurora: I can make it go faster, but remember we are on a mission!
Panel 2
Jeffery is stopping, and Aurora is hopping off the staff.
Aurora: Why did you stop?
Jeffery: Because, we are on a mission and we don’t know where we are going. I mean we have almost gone street by street and haven’t run into anyone else except that guy we froze. We still don’t know if the escapees are heading anywhere special, just roaming around this area or….
Aurora: I think you’re right, maybe we should double back and see if we missed any clues. I can try to divine, but that takes concentration and having to be still for about 15-20 minutes.
Panel 3
Jeffery is looking pensive. Aurora is holding the staff and looking at him.
Jeffery: Hmmmm, I like your idea of doubling back. We have to have missed something, I mean what kind of idiot just has escaped criminals rampage through a city filled with superheroes.
Aurora: Unless you needed a distraction…..
Jeffery: Wait, I think you’re on to something…they aren’t trying to really escape, otherwise they would have been long gone….
Aurora: Right, and if you really wanted to be gone, why stick around a city with a high super hero population, which by the way I have seen none of….
Jeffery: The riot at the prison….
Panel 4
At that point, the ground should begin to violently shake. Jeffery should be knocked off his feet ,and Aurora holding on the staff, yet losing her footing as well.
Panel 5
Aurora should at this time have her head covered in a bag by an unseen assailant.
Panel 6
There are two women standing over both Jeffery and Aurora, Jeffery is attempting to get off the ground but is unable to.
Jeffery:Wha….I can’t…
Page 13
Panel 1
One of the women is shown to be dressed in prison fatigues and the other is dressed as some kind of gaudy ninja. A man appears to be melding out of the ground.
Prison woman: That’s two.
Guady Ninja: Yeah, good job, Gravitrix, you can count.
Gravitrix: Bite me, Lotus. Tremor, are you ready to get back to the bank?
Tremor: What about these two?Gravitrix: Trish only wants the guy, the girl can suffocate in that bag…
Panel 2
Gravitrix is being hit by brick.
Panel 3
Evelyn, Aiden, and Michael are coming up upon the street.
Evelyn: See, both you boys owe me a carbonated soft drink, I told you I could hit her from that far away.
Michael: Excuse us, for not throwing like a girl. Get ‘em!
Panel 4
Aiden is shifting form into a wolf and leaping at Lotus.
Aiden: This Crouching Dragon rip off is mine!
Panel 5
A woman who resembles a cross between a large lioness and a human is leaping on Aiden’s back.
Ferocity: That leaves the pretender for me.
Panel 6
Evelyn is turning to look at Aiden, in the background the ground should be shifting around her.
Evelyn: Aiden!
Panel 7
Pieces of the street are now hitting Evelyn in the jaw, knocking her over. In the background should be a figure crouching over Aurora.

Page 14
Michael is now looking at Tremor, Lotus, Gravitrix, and one other man who has now joined the fray. He is pulling a small pole, resembling a cattle prod in one hand and the other he has his black box.

Panel 2
Off Panel Voice: You do not have to, magnetize!
Panel 3

Ferocity: All I need is one good bite at that neck, switcher, then I will
Off Panel Voice: Elephant!
Panel 5
Aiden has now switched into an elephant and has one foot up in the air.
Aiden: What? No snazzy banter now, Lion Queen?
Panel 6
Tremor is still pummeling Evelyn who has not had the ability to shift her density.
Tremor: Not very practical for a costume, but I do have to say, I did enjoy your last movie. One problem: no death scene, we will have to see how it plays out.
Panel 7
Two hands appear behind Tremor and there is a big electric burst.
Annie: Let’s not.
Panel 8
Gravitrix is pulling the heroes together, into one circle.
Gravitrix: Finally, thought you’d show your face, Annie? Trish thought you would, too bad you won’t get to see what she has planned for you.
Page 15
Evelyn, Annie, Jeffery, Aurora, Aiden(still as an elephant), and Michael are all trapped in a huddle. Lotus, Ferocity, Gravitrix, the man, who know has a weird red energy around him are closing in.

Ferocity: ….And how are you gonna do….
Panel 2
There is a red blur smacking her, and the rest of the villains at superspeed.
Annie: O yeah, once you hit Mach-2, you can escape most gravitational pulls, you need to go a whole faster to escape the earth, you should have read while you were in jail, since you’re all going back, I suggest you get a library pass.
Panel 3
Gravitrix is holding her hand outstretched. The heroes are all going in opposite directions with Evelyn and Michael going into the air.

Panel 1
Gravitrix is holding Aurora at bay. Aurora’s eyes are now glowing with a green glow. There should be a small shadow over her body.
Gravitrix: Hard to cast spells when I got your mouth and hands in a gravity field huh? Don’t worry, soon the pull will be enough to pull them right off.
Panel 2
The shadow is bigger, Gravitrix is still holding Aurora. Aurora has a weird twisted smile.

Panel 7
Standard size.
Annie is looking at the group.
Annie: OK, now I know I’m not the elected leader, but as I know the most about the psychos let me brief you, we have only defeated about half the team. In prison, they grew to almost gang sized proportions. Tricia is trying to lure me into the bank to force a confrontation. Her powers have always been wild and unstable, but very strong, I suggest that you guys worry about the rest of the team and let me handle Trish. Once you’ve detained them, then evacuate, I’ll take it from there.
Aiden: But…I thought we could do it together, you know like a team.
Panel 8
Aurora is looking at Annie, Michael has his arms crossed also looking at her, Evelyn is leaning against Jeffery who is looking at Annie. Aiden looks a little embarrassed.
Annie: Look guys, that’s sweet and all but..
Aurora: I agree with Ai-Switch.
Evelyn: I as well.
Jeffery: Me too.
Michael: Ditto.
Annie: Look, she has strong telepathy and since she is still developing who knows what else she might be able to do, I don’t want any more people getting hurt for me. It’s not fair.
Panel 9
Michael is speaking.
Michael: I used to run with X-Generation and Ax so I know about this stuff. When there is this kind of trouble, it’s no time to be a solo hero, look you have us. We’re your team. If you want us to fight the rest of this gang, fine, but once we are through, we are going to help you.
Panel 10
Annie looking questioning.
Annie: And all of you feel this way?Off Panel voices: Yes! Totally! Undoubtedly. Yup!
Page 19
It is a splash page of Annie smiling at the group.
Annie: Ok guys, then with the real team at the prison containing that riot, the six of us, for all intensive purposes are the Ax team. Let’s hit ‘em hard.

Panel 2
There is a guardsman walking towards them.
Guardsman: Excuse me…but I saw Regal, he was flying out here a moment ago, with a blonde inmate. I figured he made her talk about where those escapees went. He was flying pretty fast.
Lasombra: A blonde inmate?Orchid: Who has been secured in the psionic wing?Guardsman: Hard to say….there is one inmate missing from what we can tell, we think it’s that one girl…..uh, what’s her name…Psy-something….
Panel 3
Lasombra and Orchid are glaring at one another.
Orchid: He wouldn’t have taken her out of here…
Lasombra: If she was able to take control of him…., imagine that much power in the hands of a sociopath…..
Panel 4
Orchid grabbing Lasombra’s hand.
Orchid: We have to get back to the city!

Panel 1
It is the inside of the bank. Annie is being dragged on the floor. She is unconscious.
She is going past Michael’s unconscious body.
Off Panel Voice: It was a good plan actually. I mean rushing into the bank like that while, Rukus radioed for help to surprise me from the back of the bank. It might of worked too if I hadn’t been able to sense Mindscape first.
Panel 2
Annie is now going past Aurora.
Off Panel Voice: And that spellcaster, that fire dragon that she summoned really did a number on the ‘Gang that was outside.
Panel 3
The body is being dragged past Aiden and Allure.

Panel 4
Jeffery is awake and holding his leg, which is bleeding. His other hand is restrained with handcuffs.
Voice: And you’re awake now…..I’m surprised that you haven’t healed from that stray gunshot that got your ankle. Motor Man might not have it you had Rukus not hesitated to attack him.
Jeffery:…Get you…..
Panel 5
Annie is being dragged by Janet and James.

Page 22

Meanwhile, Annie realized that the breakout was masterminded by her ex-teammates in the Crazy Gang and has escaped to put an end to the chaos. Now that you kow what’s going on, turn the page….

Panel 1
Jeffery is looking at guy at superspeed.

Panel 1
Aiden is looking at Michael.
Aiden: Ok, so why can’t I transform yet? I can turn into a bird and see where the villains are!
Michael: Ok, one: if you call them villains, you will think of them as just some comic book fodder for the heroes to fight, two: if you switch forms now, you’ll give away what you can do and we will lost the element of surprise. Plus I “heard” voices in this area a moment ago. It might be some of the escapees.
Panel 2
Aiden is pointed straight ahead.
Aiden: What do you think happened there?
Panel 3
It is the frozen man, with the lingere. In the background is the building that crashed.

Panel 4

Page 8
6 Panel spread.
Panel 1
Michael is putting the box back in his pocket, Aiden is shifting back into human form.
Aiden: That…that was something. How did you know that I wouldn’t be able to hear that?
Michael: White Persians are normally bred pure with other purebred cats, eventually there are bound to be some deaf cats due to inbreeding, it was the only thing I could think of that quickly.
Panel 2
Michael and Aiden are talking; the background should show the frozen man is moving towards them.
Michael: By the way, quick thinking on the panther.
Aiden: Thanks, we were watching ‘Animals!’ the other night on the Education Channel and I got the idea to try and turn into one.
Panel 3
The man, dressed in lingerie, is closer to them, but remains in the background. Michael and Aiden are still talking.

Panel 1
Evelyn is standing next to Sad Jane and Flamer’s unconscious bodies. She is wearing black leather pants, knee high stilettos, metallic elbow pads and a black leather bustier that is accented with metal rings. She is also wearing black finger gloves. She has one foot on Jane’s head and she appears to be filing her nails.
Evelyn: Hello tall, ugly, and sadly under average by the lack of a constriction in those panties. Would you be ever so kind as to release those two young gentlemen? Thank you.
Panel 2
The man is throwing Aiden into the background and tossing Michael to the ground.
Lingere man: You hurt…friends.
Panel 3
Evelyn is admiring the work on her nails.
Evelyn: No, no I didn’t, but how serendipitous of me that I should find them here in this state. Let me guess, you are but one of those dreadful escapees, that we have been warned about? Hmmm, scary.
Panel 4
The Lingerie Man is stomping closer to Evelyn. She looks bored.
Lingerie Man: You…hurt friends!
Evelyn: Are you gentlemen alright? If this mammoth example of genetic failure hurt you, I can assure you that…
Panel 5
The Lingerie Man is punching at Evelyn, who is still not reacting. His fist is going right through her body, as if she is a ghost.
Panel 6
Evelyn has grabbed his lacey top and is lifting him off the ground. Her foot is still firmly on Sad Jane’s head.
Evelyn: Now, that wasn’t too smart, was it, ugly.
Thunderpunch: My name is Th’nder Punch.
Evelyn: Excellent! Thunderpunch, do you know why you are rampaging like this? Because you are acting like such a naughty little boy, you should be turned over someone’s knee.
Thunderpunch: ‘Cause……Trish say to.
Evelyn: Ahhh Trish. And where might I find this lady, so I may speak with her about your dreadful behavior.
Thunderpunch: NO….can’t tell….
Page 10
6 Panel spread.
Panel 1
The scene should be as if we are Thunderpunch looking down at Evelyn.
Evelyn: Well, you have loyalty on your side, very admirable. Now let’s see to whom your loyalty is stronger. Do you see my boot?
Thunderpunch: Yes…
Panel 2
Now the perspective is Evelyn looking up at Thunderpunch.
Evelyn: Did you catch what I did earlier? Change my “den-sit-tee” to a ghost form?Thunderpunch: Yes…
Panel 3
The panel is Evelyn’s foot on Sad Jane’s head.
Evelyn: What do you suppose would happen if I did that, and went through her head as a ghost, and went back to normal? Do you think she would be hurt? Do you think she would die?Thunderpunch: Yes….
Panel 4
The image is on Evelyn’s face, now showing anger.
Evelyn: Then you listen and you listen up good, you dumb son of a b@#%h, I want to know where the stupid f!@$ing whore that sent you on this f#@!ing rampage is, and I want to know…NOW.
Panel 5
Thunderpunch’s face is terrified.
Thunderpunch: Yes…………I’ll tell.
Panel 6
Evelyn’s face is now joyful.
Evelyn: Excellent! I can tell Thunderpunch, we are going to be the very best of friends!

4 panels
Panel 1
Evelyn is helping Aiden up. Michael is up also, he is holding a black box that now has a blinking green light.
Michael: I have the dampner working now, so we should have to worry about these guys anymore. You Ok, Aiden?Evelyn: Well, I think we will be OK, no broken bones, throat is a little bruised, but that is nothing that a little rest shouldn’t perk up.
Aiden:T-Thank you…wait! You’re Evelyn Davis! I loved your last movie! I wish I had my camera!
Panel 2
Michael is looking slightly annoyed.
Michael: Ok, rein it in, A, we still have work to do.
Evelyn: Yes, we can have a nice visit after we find the rest of the escapees. Why, your friend here almost talked my ear off for two complete minutes before we thought to get you!
Aiden: Really? Two whole minutes, huh?Michael: It was nothing! Besides, I will share the picture that we took together. Now where did Thunderthighs say their leader was going?
Panel 3
Evelyn is straightening out her brassier.
Evelyn: Now, here is a bit of irony. She is headed to the 1st National Bank of Salvation, which is where..
Michael: You, that speedster, and uhm….
Evelyn: Annie LeDuex
Michael: Yes! The three of you stopped the Crazy Gang from robbing the bank and murdering hostages. That means Trisha must be Psy-Anyde and the rest of them are just a distraction.
Evelyn: See, I thought of that angle, too. In order for that to happen, then, they must have escaped, created a diversion, the riot, to keep Ax out of the way. Then, she had her team create mayhem to clear a path and evacuate the area, per that lovely law that keeps bystanders away. But in order for this work, they would have had to have a way for Annie to escape..
Michael: …So she can confront her alone at the bank!
Evelyn: Yes, its sinfully brilliant. So, shall we get going? I would like to get to the bank soon. The sooner this affair is over, the sooner I can get back to my penthouse and wash the stink of stupidity off of my body.
Panel 4
Evelyn is standing straight up looking at the villains. Aiden is staring at her chest. Michael is looking annoyed.
Michael:Ah-hem!
Aiden: Uh, so, uhm, which way to the bank?

Panel 1
Aurora is yelling.
Aurora: Jeffery! Slow down! You keep taking sharp turns and I am getting closer and closer to hitting the sides of buildings!
Jeffery: I thought you said that thing was fast!
Aurora: I can make it go faster, but remember we are on a mission!
Panel 2
Jeffery is stopping, and Aurora is hopping off the staff.
Aurora: Why did you stop?
Jeffery: Because, we are on a mission and we don’t know where we are going. I mean we have almost gone street by street and haven’t run into anyone else except that guy we froze. We still don’t know if the escapees are heading anywhere special, just roaming around this area or….
Aurora: I think you’re right, maybe we should double back and see if we missed any clues. I can try to divine, but that takes concentration and having to be still for about 15-20 minutes.
Panel 3
Jeffery is looking pensive. Aurora is holding the staff and looking at him.
Jeffery: Hmmmm, I like your idea of doubling back. We have to have missed something, I mean what kind of idiot just has escaped criminals rampage through a city filled with superheroes.
Aurora: Unless you needed a distraction…..
Jeffery: Wait, I think you’re on to something…they aren’t trying to really escape, otherwise they would have been long gone….
Aurora: Right, and if you really wanted to be gone, why stick around a city with a high super hero population, which by the way I have seen none of….
Jeffery: The riot at the prison….
Panel 4
At that point, the ground should begin to violently shake. Jeffery should be knocked off his feet ,and Aurora holding on the staff, yet losing her footing as well.
Panel 5
Aurora should at this time have her head covered in a bag by an unseen assailant.
Panel 6
There are two women standing over both Jeffery and Aurora, Jeffery is attempting to get off the ground but is unable to.
Jeffery:Wha….I can’t…
Page 13
Panel 1
One of the women is shown to be dressed in prison fatigues and the other is dressed as some kind of gaudy ninja. A man appears to be melding out of the ground.
Prison woman: That’s two.
Guady Ninja: Yeah, good job, Gravitrix, you can count.
Gravitrix: Bite me, Lotus. Tremor, are you ready to get back to the bank?
Tremor: What about these two?Gravitrix: Trish only wants the guy, the girl can suffocate in that bag…
Panel 2
Gravitrix is being hit by brick.
Panel 3
Evelyn, Aiden, and Michael are coming up upon the street.
Evelyn: See, both you boys owe me a carbonated soft drink, I told you I could hit her from that far away.
Michael: Excuse us, for not throwing like a girl. Get ‘em!
Panel 4
Aiden is shifting form into a wolf and leaping at Lotus.
Aiden: This Crouching Dragon rip off is mine!
Panel 5
A woman who resembles a cross between a large lioness and a human is leaping on Aiden’s back.
Ferocity: That leaves the pretender for me.
Panel 6
Evelyn is turning to look at Aiden, in the background the ground should be shifting around her.
Evelyn: Aiden!
Panel 7
Pieces of the street are now hitting Evelyn in the jaw, knocking her over. In the background should be a figure crouching over Aurora.

Page 14
Michael is now looking at Tremor, Lotus, Gravitrix, and one other man who has now joined the fray. He is pulling a small pole, resembling a cattle prod in one hand and the other he has his black box.

Panel 2
Off Panel Voice: You do not have to, magnetize!
Panel 3

Ferocity: All I need is one good bite at that neck, switcher, then I will
Off Panel Voice: Elephant!
Panel 5
Aiden has now switched into an elephant and has one foot up in the air.
Aiden: What? No snazzy banter now, Lion Queen?
Panel 6
Tremor is still pummeling Evelyn who has not had the ability to shift her density.
Tremor: Not very practical for a costume, but I do have to say, I did enjoy your last movie. One problem: no death scene, we will have to see how it plays out.
Panel 7
Two hands appear behind Tremor and there is a big electric burst.
Annie: Let’s not.
Panel 8
Gravitrix is pulling the heroes together, into one circle.
Gravitrix: Finally, thought you’d show your face, Annie? Trish thought you would, too bad you won’t get to see what she has planned for you.
Page 15
Evelyn, Annie, Jeffery, Aurora, Aiden(still as an elephant), and Michael are all trapped in a huddle. Lotus, Ferocity, Gravitrix, the man, who know has a weird red energy around him are closing in.

Ferocity: ….And how are you gonna do….
Panel 2
There is a red blur smacking her, and the rest of the villains at superspeed.
Annie: O yeah, once you hit Mach-2, you can escape most gravitational pulls, you need to go a whole faster to escape the earth, you should have read while you were in jail, since you’re all going back, I suggest you get a library pass.
Panel 3
Gravitrix is holding her hand outstretched. The heroes are all going in opposite directions with Evelyn and Michael going into the air.

6 panels
Panel 1
Gravitrix is holding Aurora at bay. Aurora’s eyes are now glowing with a green glow. There should be a small shadow over her body.
Gravitrix: Hard to cast spells when I got your mouth and hands in a gravity field huh? Don’t worry, soon the pull will be enough to pull them right off.
Panel 2
The shadow is bigger, Gravitrix is still holding Aurora. Aurora has a weird twisted smile.

Panel 7
Standard size.
Annie is looking at the group.
Annie: OK, now I know I’m not the elected leader, but as I know the most about the psychos let me brief you, we have only defeated about half the team. In prison, they grew to almost gang sized proportions. Tricia is trying to lure me into the bank to force a confrontation. Her powers have always been wild and unstable, but very strong, I suggest that you guys worry about the rest of the team and let me handle Trish. Once you’ve detained them, then evacuate, I’ll take it from there.
Aiden: But…I thought we could do it together, you know like a team.
Panel 8
Aurora is looking at Annie, Michael has his arms crossed also looking at her, Evelyn is leaning against Jeffery who is looking at Annie. Aiden looks a little embarrassed.

Aurora: I agree with Ai-Switch.
Evelyn: I as well.
Jeffery: Me too.
Michael: Ditto.
Annie: Look, she has strong telepathy and since she is still developing who knows what else she might be able to do, I don’t want any more people getting hurt for me. It’s not fair.
Panel 9
Michael is speaking.
Michael: I used to run with X-Generation and Ax so I know about this stuff. When there is this kind of trouble, it’s no time to be a solo hero, look you have us. We’re your team. If you want us to fight the rest of this gang, fine, but once we are through, we are going to help you.
Panel 10
Annie looking questioning.
Annie: And all of you feel this way?Off Panel voices: Yes! Totally! Undoubtedly. Yup!
Page 19
It is a splash page of Annie smiling at the group.
Annie: Ok guys, then with the real team at the prison containing that riot, the six of us, for all intensive purposes are the Ax team. Let’s hit ‘em hard.

Panel 2
There is a guardsman walking towards them.
Guardsman: Excuse me…but I saw Regal, he was flying out here a moment ago, with a blonde inmate. I figured he made her talk about where those escapees went. He was flying pretty fast.
Lasombra: A blonde inmate?Orchid: Who has been secured in the psionic wing?Guardsman: Hard to say….there is one inmate missing from what we can tell, we think it’s that one girl…..uh, what’s her name…Psy-something….
Panel 3
Lasombra and Orchid are glaring at one another.
Orchid: He wouldn’t have taken her out of here…
Lasombra: If she was able to take control of him…., imagine that much power in the hands of a sociopath…..
Panel 4
Orchid grabbing Lasombra’s hand.
Orchid: We have to get back to the city!

Panel 1
It is the inside of the bank. Annie is being dragged on the floor. She is unconscious.
She is going past Michael’s unconscious body.
Off Panel Voice: It was a good plan actually. I mean rushing into the bank like that while, Rukus radioed for help to surprise me from the back of the bank. It might of worked too if I hadn’t been able to sense Mindscape first.
Panel 2
Annie is now going past Aurora.
Off Panel Voice: And that spellcaster, that fire dragon that she summoned really did a number on the ‘Gang that was outside.
Panel 3
The body is being dragged past Aiden and Allure.
Voice: Hmmmm, Imagine their surprise when Motor Man and Mindscape attacked them. Using a concussion grenade against Allure and Switch was brilliant. I couldn’t even have come up with that.
Panel 4
Jeffery is awake and holding his leg, which is bleeding. His other hand is restrained with handcuffs.
Voice: And you’re awake now…..I’m surprised that you haven’t healed from that stray gunshot that got your ankle. Motor Man might not have it you had Rukus not hesitated to attack him.
Jeffery:…Get you…..
Panel 5
Annie is being dragged by Janet and James.
Voice: No, I really don’t think so. You have about as much chance as that as the cops did. I mean, really, they have no powers, they think training and a gun is going to stop us? Please. Stupid.
Panel 6
Annie is being dragged by her hair upwards.
Voice: Speaking of stupid….Lift her.
Panel 7
Annie’s eyes are now wide awake.
Voice: Wake.
Panel 8
Annie’s face is in an expression of fear.
Voice: Well, Annie? You feel right into my trap, brought your loser friends from last time we were here, and brought some more. You have back up and support from the police and hell, even two legendary heroes, and you still lost.
Page 22
It is a splash page of Annie staring at Trish. Regal is holding Annie up by her hair. Motor Man and Mindscape are beside Trish. In the background are other members of the Crazy Gang, harassing hostages.
